Introduction
Water damage is a silent destroyer. In India, with our intense monsoons and varied climate, homes are highly susceptible to hidden water leakage. Often, by the time you see water dripping, the structural damage is already severe. At Ohio Enterprises, we don’t just fix leaks; we engineer solutions. Here are 5 hidden signs of water leakage you shouldn’t ignore.
1. Peeling Paint and Blistering Wallpaper If your interior wall paint is bubbling or flaking off, it’s not just poor-quality paint. This is a classic sign of moisture trapped inside the walls, often due to exterior wall cracks or poor terrace waterproofing.
2. Musty Odors in Basements and Bathrooms Do you smell a damp, earthy odor even after cleaning? This indicates mold growth caused by persistent moisture. Bathroom tile joints that aren’t properly sealed often allow water to seep into the concrete slab.
3. White Chalky Stains on Brick or Concrete (Efflorescence) Have you noticed a white, powdery substance on your basement walls or exterior brickwork? This is efflorescence—salts left behind when water evaporates. It means water is moving through your foundation.
4. Warped Wooden Door Frames If your bathroom or terrace doors suddenly become hard to close, they have likely absorbed excess moisture from surrounding damp walls.
5. Unusually High Water Bills Sometimes, the leak is underground or inside the plumbing shafts. If your water bill spikes without explanation, you might have a concealed leak.
